.Fred Bazzoli's story illustrates that a key part of #PatientCare is providing empathetic and clear #communication. A healthcare environment where patients feel valued, informed, and in control of their health decisions is one that drives better outcomes. healthdatamanagement.com/articles/commu…

New research at the ABI is developing objective biomarkers and using ML to categorize #IBS patients based on distinct conditions. This shift from subjective to precise diagnostics will likely transform IBS into a well-managed condition. #Innovation newsroom.co.nz/2024/08/01/tow…

Dietary changes are a common treatment option for #GastroHealth conditions such as #IBS but understanding exactly how they have this effect can be challenging. Below, Dr. Van Den Houte dives into this topic, specifically for the common #FODMAP diet. Rome Foundation

Central #neuromodulators such as anti-depressants can provide relief to patients with #ChronicPain. Below, I discuss the pros and cons of these medications and how providers can know if they are a good fit for their patients. tinyurl.com/mrshcyj3

What I think is particularly exciting about this era of #gastroenterology is the use of #neuromodulators-- medications we used in the 1950s that have been repurposed to treat common GI symptoms such as pain, nausea or bloating, reflecting the connection between brain and gut.

Our mental state can have a big impact on our physical health and the same is true when it comes to our #GastroHealth. In this video, I explain how stress can affect the GI system, frequently mimicking #PTSD. vimeo.com/372755530

#GI issues can be complicated enough as they are, but understanding and treating them in #pediatrics comes with a unique set of challenges. A few years ago, Carlo Di Lorenzo and I dove into this topic and I think it provides as much valuable insight today as it did in 2020.

The #healthcare system as we know it is failing both patients and providers. Revenue takes precedence over patient care. So I have dedicated a large portion of my work to strengthening the relationship between both groups so that they can each thrive. #PatientExperience
